After a real winter in south Louisiana, the prairies are busting into their late spring blossoms. The Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society meets next Saturday (May 12) in Eunice for their spring tours and meeting. Check http://www.cajunprairie.org for details. I plan to be placing images of my gardens at a new site http://www.cajunprairiegarden.wordpress.com — so check that site out in the near future.

Spring has come to the Cajun Prairie Gardens, and I will be posting this year’s activities at an alternative site, namely http://www.cajunprairiegarden.wordpress.com . Marc has been very generous with this site, and I will use it occasionally.

The site began as the layout for a book, and I think that it has served that agenda well. I will close with a short list of accomplishments.

The Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society is meeting in Eunice on Saturday, the 8th of April. We are having an auction to help support our maintenance program for the Eunice Prairie. My donation is a group of Louisiana Irises and the photos of these is here attached.

We prepared this a couple of years ago. But as things usually go, we were challenged elsewhere. Anyway, here is our lamentation for the Frey Prairie remnant, which provided us with not only a tremendous amount of data but also seeds and propagules for hundreds of prairie species now growing in numerous locations around Louisiana. What a piece of prairie this was!
